That artichoke flower is gorgeous!!
And wild blackberries are the sweetest! If you can still use your fingers, after all the thorns ripping you to shreds!
When you find out the name of that flower, let me know too! Thanx!

OK, now I have a good reason to go back and check. I used to live in Oregon where the blackberries grow wild, and I would dream clumps of blackberries without thorns. They used to lie in the thickets in huge clusters of huge berries. To get to them you needed scissors and gloves, and I never had either. In CA they are different. They are cultivated. You walk up, pick them, and walk away. No fuss no muss! 🙂
